Friday night saw Clan Snow Raven taking on an unholy alliance of Houses Davion and Kurita. The city fight cost both sides an equal number of ‘Mechs (but point-wise it was a pyrrhic IS victory).

Back from playing an English Folk Horror larp, Rites of Spring, on the Danish island of Livø. Think Wicker Man meets Midsommer, Witchfinder
General and Blood on Satan’s claw
All mashed together 😜

YouTube video by Odysseus Larp Through the Stars - Odysseus 2024 (Music Video)

Last summer I had the privilege of crewing run 3 of the Odysseus larp in Helsinki (which I played in 2019).

The attached music video of the Odysseus theme, sung by Helena Haaparanta, gives a small insight into the game
